1. Hand sanitizer.
Kids and germs go hand in hand! Keep everyone healthy by sending in some extra hand sanitizer. You can also include sanitizing sprays to help clean the air of germs. With as many as two dozen students using the sanitizer daily, you will find it runs out fast. Donate and help keep the room germ free.

3. Sponges and paper towels.
Kids make messes. Help your child’s teacher be prepared when you send in sponges and paper towels. This way they can efficiently clean, clean up messes, and enjoy a clean and sanitary room. It may not be a bad idea to send in any old cloth towels you have too!
4. Napkins, paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Kids love to eat, so if your child’s classroom enjoys snack time or celebrates birthdays, then the teacher will appreciate napkins, paper plates, cups, and utensils. This way kids have what they need to eat and the classroom can stay tidy.
5. Dry erase markers. With so much work being done on dry erase boards, teachers go through dry erase markers like crazy. Give your child’s teacher some dry erase markers in various colors so they can help present lessons and not worry about their stash running out. If you are feeling really generous, you can also add in a dry erase eraser or some dry erase board cleaning spray.
6. Classroom rewards such as stickers and small erasers. Teachers spend a lot of money on rewarding their students. Donate a book of stickers and some stamps or small erasers for kids to enjoy. This way teachers can spend their money on other needs. You can also donate small McDonald’s toys you may have around the house.
7. Gift cards to a local teacher supply store. Should you just rather give your child’s teacher the gift of choice, give them a gift card to a local teacher supply store.
